v8.4.0 Patch Notes

Summary: Quality-of-Life Updates for Quests, Pets, and Guilds. Android-related bug fixes as well!

Class Skills

• The Class Skills tab within your inventory now displays the proper Rank 1/2/3 information that scales for each unlock
• Each class skill now displays a preview showing an animation of what using the skill looks like

Quests

• The Wanderer's Level 70 timed quest now displays a countdown in the Story tab of the Quest page and has a proper Expired state
• Shugo, the class guide, now shows animation previews for each character class during class progression quests

Pets

• Common egg drop rates have been increased from 10% to 15% on Harvest Fields and from 18% to 22% on Mountain Ruins
• An unlucky prevention system has been implemented for expeditions, providing an egg drop after a certain number of completions (depending on the expedition)
• Fusion Catalysts have been reduced to 12 pet tokens or 60 gems instead of 15 tokens and 75 gems. Players with high fusion counts have been given back a few pet tokens as compensation
• Fusion Catalysts now use an algorithm that guarantees certain tier bonuses depending on fusion quality. You can view these guarantees using the info "i" icon after selecting three pets and viewing the fusion quality

Guilds

• All guilds have received a +2 player slot increase. New guilds now start with 7 slots instead of 5
• The Speed Walk guild quest now shows that you have 24 hours after acceptance and displays a countdown timer
• Speed Walk can no longer be assigned when less than 24 hours remain before the Guild Conquest week ends
• Expired quests now appear in Guild Activity to show which quest expired and its final progress. This is only visible to you
• After the Guild Conquest week ends, the server now allows a 5-minute finalization window for steps recorded shortly afterward due to background processing delays
• Attempting to start guild quests without a connection now displays the proper error message and provides a "Retry" option

Bug Fixes

• Fixed another Android background sync issue where the prior day's baseline could affect the current day
• Fixed an issue to make Android server syncs more reliable

What's Next?

• One-time class change will be possible soon for those that wanted to change classes after the new monster/class update
• Android background sync is still being tested and is slowly being rolled out while server load and reliability is kept track of
• 2-4 player simultaneous co-op engine is being planned but requires the BG sync above to be fully functional
• More quality-of-life and interface improvements
• Readable Font Mode and localization updates
• Seasonal Competition planning will begin as these foundational updates are completed

Plans are subject to change!
